Common questions
Why does a structural engineer need to look at my home?
A heavy impact travels through a house. An engineer traces that load path to find damage that is not visible and specifies a repair that meets code.
Can you review the carrier's engineering report?
Yes. We review it against the field conditions and document where our findings agree or differ.
